Dulles International and Ronald Reagan International airports in Washington began offering limited service Tuesday.

But New York and New Jersey's biggest airports, including La Guardia, John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty International, suffered flooding damage and may remain closed for several more days, officials said.

Travel experts suggested that fliers who have not been stranded by the storm wait until next week to try to book a flight.

"A lot of people are just not going to go if they are already home,” said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, a website that offers travel advice and fare alerts.
